A General Sentiment In Favor of some
sort u TariT Rcvisson Prevalent Among
Politicians of All Glasses In Washington.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2-Since the United
Press quoted Speaker Carlisle and other
prominent Congressman on the tarin
question last week, there have been nu-
merous publications Of interviews on the
same subject. but none Of them change
materially the sentiment Of the leaders u
the majority as then outlined, Viz: that
they favor the retention Of most Of the In
tcrnal revenue taxes, nm enlarged lree
list. high duties on Injuries and low
duties on necessnries. Probably the most
significant feature OF the many express
sions Of opinion Il the almost very gener-
al belief on the part Of Prctectionists
that there will BE- "some kind Of tariff
revisions At the approaching session. The
followers OF Mr.. randall express q
willingness to support q compromise or
moderate tariff reform measure, and there
seems to be a desire for q free and frank
conference with n view 70 reaching .
harmonious understanding.

She Has a Heart.

To the Editor of the Globe.
While waiting for car the other
morning, and at the same time admiring
the palatial house across the way, a
young lady, stylishly dressed for the
street, came out upon the veranda. She
was just descending the steps when a
tot of a blue-eyed girl, delicate, pinched
with the cold, and carrying a dilapidated
music-bOX, turned up the walk and
began to play. AS the young lady and
her stately mama bear the reputation in
st. Paul society of being cold, unfeeling
and even uncharitable, pulled my hat
over my eyes, and paced up and down
the street awaiting developments.
Some months ago the household dar-
ling died, and mademoiselle has become
more and more reserved; but, at the
conclusion of that piteous little refrain,
she took the frail child by the hand and
led her into tho house. Twenty min
utes later they emerged together, the
little one warm and radiant, in pretty
dress and cloak and strong pair of boots,
and, as she disappeared down the ave
nue., in one hand the old music-boX and
the other Juggling well-filled basket,
from my hiding place behind friendly
oak l watched the handsome, unfee1-
ing (?) girl take out her handkerchief
and wipe her eyes. c. S.

LAW, HowDY, ME DEAH BoY!"
be in vogue. When the anglO-lunatic
has a cane. cigar, pair of gloves and
several other impediments in the right
hand the proper racket is not to
change and ''wag" with the right hand,
but to extend the left hand and give a
couple Of fingers. 1t takes more prac-
if anything, a trifie more awkward look
ing; however, it is awfully telling when
accomplished and SubdueS the recipient
more than anything else in the same
space of time.
A strong minded man after receiving
the left-hand shake has been seen to
stagger to a lamp post, feebly pass his
hands across his brow to make Ger tain
he was all there and then examine his
wrist to see if it was still inspiring.
The funny appearance two women
present must be seen to be appreciated,
1t is more like pump handle shaking
hands with windmill than anything
else, and takes the small boys every
time. A long looking glass is the best
thing to practice with, and catch the
proper hang of the wrist.
Two dudes in DelmOnicO's, meeting
and exchanging greetings, are as like a
leaf out of ''Jim the Penman'' as can
be. The English detective has mon
ocle and shakes hands precisely like the
Anglofed members of the Knicker-
booker club, and should arouse their
enthusiasm.
The one thing against this hand-shake
is that it raises the right shoulder so
much higher than the other that popu-
lar dude will soon become One-sided,
and if the practice is persevered in,
with either hand alternately, they will
become hunchbackS in time
